[Electronics-Talk] My Justification for theProxTalker Electronics Braille Labeler

Sat Jan 2 16:15:09 UTC 2016

Hi,
No worries I wasn't directing my comments to you in fact I wasn't even aware 
who asked the original question. I was merely responding to Christopher's 
comments as often times amongst blind people there is a rather interesting 
phenomenon of people advocating for their particular preferences to the 
exclusion of others that's all.
No worries all is well least I think it is (smile).

Hi,
I wonder why some people assume that when there might be a difference of
opinion that one is automatically being critical or being opinionated.
People are different with different needs but one ought to be able to ask
about someone doing something differently without being flamed. When I was
asking about the justification of the price, I was not criticizing or being
opinionated. I just wanted to know what one hoped to gain by paying the
price for this gadget as opposed to way less expensive means of brailling
labels. Needing it for work makes sense. Who knows, if I need to label a lot
of stuff, I might decide I would want one of these. Because one asks for
clarification does not mean they are criticizing or being opinionated about
their concern. I figure it is probably ok to buy one of them and it is
probably ok not to.
Thanks
Lauren

Psalm 27:1-6  (KJV)
27 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the
strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my
flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though
war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may
dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty
of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret
of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me:
therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing,
yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.

Hi,
I totally agree with Christopher on this one.  Even if I don't need a tool
or implement or gadget or toy for grown ups (smile) today you never know
when I'll find a use for it in future.  And as he pointed out the
convenience or usefulness and value one affixes to such is as personal as
any other decision in life.  It amazes me how opinionated some can get
regarding who uses what and why.  Maybe I'm naive or silly or old fashioned
or who knows what but I've always been a more live and let live type of
girl.  I might offer what works for me in hopes that others might benefit
but never would I assume or presume that the way I do anything would be best
for anyone else.
Just my two cents no one asked for. So in summary happy adapting to life as
we all must and do keep sharing about the electronic aids that help you to
do so as you never know when one of us might be motivated by interest, need
or circumstance to go on a spree for such.

Vince,

You don't have to justify why you purchased the labeller. As someone else
said, it's a personal decision. No one else understands your situation or
knows whether it's worth it or not to you. I've found that some people have
a tendency to think that what works for them is what's right for everyone,
but this just isn't the case. Personally, I'm not too interested when others
start talking about whether something is worth the price being asked for or
not. I like hearing about different options, but no one knows my financial
situation or how much I'm willing to pay for a convenience or a service.
BTW, I did appreciate hearing why you purchased the labeller though.
